When Li Mo returned to the hotel, Brown Bear brought some fruit snacks, which the hotel specially prepared for him. In the past few days, as the treasure recovery work progressed, the media vigorously promoted it. Not to mention domestic, even foreign media followed up. Report.
Li Mo's strategy was very successful, and the topic of "at least two thousand tons of gold reserves" ignited numerous media outlets.
Now that the Changbai Mountains have become the focus, many media cannot enter the mountains, but they can stay outside. Especially those network anchors, who flocked to the area from all over the country, and a small and not-so-famous town near the foot of the mountain suddenly became lively.
"The hotel owner just told me that there are several media outlets who want to interview you, but they have no connections, so they all asked him to convey their wishes. Do you want to meet them here?"
"Not seeing you for a while."
Li Mo put down his cell phone and dialed Sirui's video call. It rang seven or eight times before he was connected. Not only Sirui but also Qin Jiaye and his wife appeared in the camera. In the background, Mr. Qin and Qin Yali were drinking tea.
"Si Rui, is today the day for prenatal check-up?"
"Yeah, everything is fine. The doctor just asked me to eat more lean meat in the near future. Xiao Mo, I have gained more than ten pounds. What should I do if I can't lose weight in the future?"
"It's okay, then I will eat more fat, and the weight will increase rapidly. Then I will gain weight with you."
Qin Sirui pursed his lips and smiled and said: "I don't want to get fat. It's so ugly to be fat. Xiao Mo, you should pay attention to your health in the Northeast and don't be so tired."
"Don't worry, it will be easy once we officially enter the treasure cave. We only need to sort out the national treasures inside. Grandpa, I will say a few words to him."
"What do you want to ask?" Mr. Qin stood up and walked over to the camera and asked.
"Things over at Jinmen."
"Didn't you already get the news? Alas, Mr. Wang is still in a coma. Whether he can escape is unknown. If he cannot escape, the Wang family will stop here. The old leader once said this, the more When you are in a high position, you have to have higher demands on your children and grandchildren. A thousand-mile dike breaks in an ant nest, so long as it doesn't happen, but if it does, the problem will be serious."
"The evil done by God can be forgiven, but the evil done by oneself cannot be saved. They are responsible for all this, and they cannot blame others."
Mr. Qin looked at him, smiled and said, "Now there is a saying in the upper circles that they would rather offend the King of Hell than offend you, Li Mo, saying that you are a killer of a famous family."
Li Mo's face was a little stretched, and he said helplessly: "Actually, I was forced to do it. It really has nothing to do with me. I'm just doing my own thing."
"Okay, don't ask too much about this, just do your own thing. Sirui is fine at home, and our two families are taking care of her. What else do you have to worry about."
"Don't worry, I just miss Sirui."
Li Mo and Sirui chatted for a few more words before hanging up, and then made a video call to Yingying. When the call was connected, she was sleeping on a recliner. There was a coffee table next to her with a bowl of steaming Chinese medicine on it. .
"Xiao Mo, aren't you busy today?"
"It is expected to officially enter the treasure cave tomorrow. Master and Mistress are not here?"
"My dad went to the museum, and my mom went to the supermarket to buy some things. She will be back soon. Xiao Mo, I will move back to the wealthy mansion tomorrow and prepare to recuperate while completing my studies. During this time, I have also figured it out. , since I majored in directing, I plan to work hard in this area, and I won’t touch acting anymore.”
"I support your decision. We are very familiar with several famous directors. Just study hard with them. Maybe you can become a famous director in the future."
"Well, that's what I think too. I haven't thought about whether I can become a famous director. I just want to have my own career in this life. Only after experiencing some setbacks can people understand what they are pursuing. Now carefully Come to think of it, I’ve really missed out on a lot of wonderful things over the years.”
"There are so many beautiful things in the world. You are good at discovering them and can discover beauty at any time. Yingying, don't think about anything now. Take good care of your body and finish your studies well."
"I know that these days, my classmates in high school and college are all chatting about you in the group. Many pretty people are asking if you have a girlfriend. Those nymphos are all thinking about giving birth to a monkey for you. ”
"You didn't declare it for me?"
"I made a statement. I told them that you were married and about to be a father. I told them not to have such wishful thinking, but I was drowned in their saliva. My favorite thing now is to secretly watch them discuss you in the group. I fantasize about how likely they are to meet you in the future." Liu Yingying sat up from the recliner and looked in the direction of the door, "Dad, you are back so soon. Uncle, you are here too."
"I heard from your dad that you haven't been feeling well lately, so I came over to check on you."
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a while. Uncle, Xiao Mo is video chatting with me. Come over and have a look."
Liu Hongqing's face appeared in view.
"Uncle Hongqing, I haven't seen you for a few days."
"I am an idle person, and I only know how to cultivate flowers and trees every day. You are different. I do important things that benefit the country and the people every day. But no matter how busy you are, you must eat three meals a day on time, and eat well and sleep well. good."
"The food here is good, and the food you eat is all from the mountains. I guess I will gain a few pounds when I go back. Uncle Hongqing, Ms. Sui is doing garden planning. I will send you a drawing later, please trouble them Help me plan it, and the cost will be calculated normally."
"We're talking about fees and charges. It's just a small matter. Send it to me and I'll tell my son."
"Congratulations to Uncle Hongqing, congratulations to Uncle Hongqing. We have already agreed that we will attend your wedding as a family member at the end of the year."
Li Mo cupped his fists and said with a smile.
Liu Hongqing also had a happy smile on his face.
"Yingying, master, uncle, I'm going offline now. I'll video chat with you later."
Liu Yingying picked up the phone and waved her hand.
Li Mo hung up the phone and waved the brown bear to come with him.
"Boss, are you preparing dinner?"
"Let me tell you something. Tomorrow you accompany Dr. Wu and the others up the mountain to collect medicines and protect them. No one has gone up to that King of Hell Mountain for a hundred years. There must be a lot of various kinds of medicines. They will give you a share later. It’s okay to have some extra money and stay in the hotel anyway.”
"Thank you, boss. I'll prepare dinner for you now."
On the seventh day of raising the treasure, Li Mo notified the relevant people early in the morning that he was going to enter the treasure cave today. According to the requirements, the first batch of people to enter the treasure cave were divided into five groups, each group containing five people. There was a media team following the filming.
Li Mo, Zhu Changping, Professor Yu, Director Shi, and Director Fu, as the leaders of the five groups, entered from five directions respectively. Li Mo was led by Associate Professor Zheng Bin, a researcher from the Kyoto Museum, a researcher from the Jinling Museum, and a translator, Mr. Gu, and then the live broadcast team of Jia Siyuan was followed.
Considering the difficulty of entry and exit, Li Mo's group also entered through the cave entrance below the steep slope. As several people stood at the entrance of the cave, they felt a gust of wind rushing out from inside.
"Associate Professor Li, let's start the live broadcast. Please say hello to everyone first." The beautiful anchor said enthusiastically.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Mo. After a week of preliminary preparations, today we officially entered the treasure cave. Two days ago, we found three bodies of missing islanders at the entrance of the cave. Today we will see if we can find the remaining ones. The corpses of thirty-four islanders. Please remind netizens who cannot bear to watch the horrific scenes, please stay away. When the gold treasure and other antiques are found, I will notify everyone in time."
"Associate Professor Li is mighty, and the aircraft carrier is here."
"Same as above, an aircraft carrier."
"Line up, an aircraft carrier."
queue....
queue....
As soon as Li Mo said hello, aircraft carriers flying up on the live screen to reward him. The beautiful anchor's throat moved when she saw it. Associate Professor Li's popularity was so high that there seemed to be many wealthy people waiting for him to show up.
Jia Siyuan was speechless when he looked at the live broadcast room where the screen was blown up.
"We enter the cave."
Electric lights have been turned on in the cave, and the whole road is bright. The surrounding environment can be seen clearly, and there is a soldier standing guard every 20 meters.
"Associate Professor Li, there are two corpses over there."
The camera shifted from Li Mo to two corpses leaning against the cave wall. Judging from their clothing and appearance, they were a man and a woman. They were leaning against each other and holding hands tightly. They were either husband and wife or lovers before death.
"They both probably died of poisoning." Li Mo put on gloves and rummaged through their clothes, and finally found two rings around their necks.
"This is a couple's ring. Teacher Gu, look at the island text on the back. It may be their name. Take a photo of it and send it to the official for verification of identity."
"Okay Associate Professor Li."
The matter of contacting the officials was handed over to Teacher Gu, and after a while, the group continued walking deeper into the cave. After a while, we arrived in front of the first door, which was completely opened.
"So many corpses."
The beautiful anchor's voice was a little trembling. Although there were many people together, dozens of corpses appeared in front of her. She was so frightened that her voice trembled obviously.
Under the camera, the corpses were holding various weapons in their hands, including guns, daggers, and conical weapons similar to military spurs. There are many obvious bullet marks on the surrounding stone walls, and various gold jewelry and antique porcelain are scattered on the ground.
"I counted, there are a total of thirty-two corpses here, plus the two outside, and the three that were shipped out two days ago, there are exactly thirty-seven corpses. They must have disappeared suddenly after entering China. The tourist group disappeared without a trace.”
"The people of these island countries had ulterior motives. Unfortunately, instead of taking away the treasures here, they ended up killing each other for various reasons. It's really sad. The broken porcelain on the ground was from the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty. It dates back more than a hundred years. Years of history. We first collect all the gold, silver, jade, and porcelain fragments on the ground one by one, and then try to repair the broken porcelain when we get back. Everyone must be careful where you step, and those who cannot adapt to the scene can temporarily avoid it."
The five people in Li Mo's group began to carefully clean up the things scattered on the ground.
"The jade quality of this bracelet is exquisite, and it feels moist when you hold it. This is a very good quality Hetian jade bracelet."
Li Mo looked at the bracelet carefully, then attached a label, wrapped it in soft sponge and put it in a new wooden box.
"Associate Professor Li, look at the ring-shaped style of this porcelain. It is actually an official kiln porcelain from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."
Li Mo turned around and took a look and said: "It should be the official porcelain of Guangxu of Qing Dynasty imitating Qianlong of Qing Dynasty."
The Kyoto Museum expert took a closer look at the circle foot. The blue and white inscriptions on it were in standard regular script. I don't know how Li Mo judged that this was an imitation made during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. But he was also well aware of Li Mo's appraisal authority in this area, and had never seen him make a mistake, so he just kept the doubts in his mind for the time being and asked for advice after he went out.
The sorting here lasted for nearly forty minutes before it ended. Then Li Mo nodded to a group of soldiers not far away and said: "Please carry all these corpses out, and then see if everyone's identity can be confirmed." . If everything can be verified clearly, the information will be released to the public in a timely manner."
"yes."
After all the thirty-two corpses were carried away, the beautiful anchor gently patted her chest and appeared again. Her face was still a little pale. She had been so frightened just now.
"Are you OK?"
"I just need to take a breath, Associate Professor Li, let's continue."
"Okay, Siyuan, please take more care of her."
The group of people walked a little further, and then they stared blankly at the huge deep cave in the belly of the mountain in front of them. Piles of wooden boxes almost took up most of the space, extending deeper and deeper with no end in sight. Many wooden boxes have collapsed, and the ground is littered with gold bricks, which reflect a golden luster under the light from above.
They finally saw the golden treasure. Li Mo was immune to these and did not dare to be interested in them. But the minds of others were blank at the moment. They could not believe what they saw. What they had learned before was just a numerical concept, until now Only then did they realize how huge a treasure trove of two thousand tons of gold was.
When we got here, the people standing guard were no longer ordinary soldiers, but soldiers with guns. Each of them had a serious face and looked at everyone who came in with sharp eyes.
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Li Mo took a few steps forward, picked up a small gold brick from the ground, shook it and said, "One piece is about 2,000 grams and weighs about four kilograms."
He opened several wooden boxes in succession, and the gold bricks were all cast from the same mold.
"Someone is coming."
"Chief Li, please give me instructions." A soldier with the rank of major on his shoulders ran over quickly. He was at least thirty-five years old. Compared with Shi Bin and Qin Sijun, the latter two improved faster. , which also means that we will go further in the future.
Li Mo didn't bother to correct himself as to what to call himself. He pointed at the wooden boxes and said: "These wooden boxes have been overwhelmed because they have been for too long. You should immediately arrange to repack them and move them out one by one. If the speed of helicopter transportation is If you can’t keep up, contact Major Shi immediately and prepare to send a large force to carry it out of the mountain manually.”
"Yes, Chief Li."
The matter of transporting gold is completely left to the troops. Li Mo has estimated that even if it is conservatively said that there are 2,000 tons of gold here, each soldier will transport fifty kilograms of gold at a time. If he climbs mountains and ridges with heavy load quickly, he will need to go in and out. Nearly a day.
Even if 10,000 soldiers are dispatched to move it at the same time, it will take eight days to complete such a large amount of work. What's more, the actual situation is that the gold reserves are far more than two thousand tons, and ten thousand troops cannot be dispatched at once.
It can only be done by helicopter and manually at the same time, which can greatly shorten the time of transporting treasure. All gold is loaded into trucks at a temporary camp under strict security guard outside the Changbai Mountains, and then sent to a secret reserve base.
"Associate Professor Li, these wooden boxes are filled with antiques."
A researcher from the Jinling Museum exclaimed that he had opened a wooden box containing three porcelains.
He carefully took it out and looked at it and said a little disappointed: "It's porcelain from the Republic of China. At first glance, it looks very delicate, but after careful identification, in terms of craftsmanship, it is still inferior to the high-quality products produced by the official kilns during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. There’s a clear gap.”
